Solar forecasting for networked power plants

A non-transitory computer-readable media comprising computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a process comprising:

• receiving a power delivery profile for each of a first load and a second load;
• determining a first power output capability of a first power plant and a second power capability for a second power plant;
• determining a first amount of a combined power output capability of the first and second power plants in excess of the power delivery profile of the first load;
• allocating a second amount of the combined power output capability equal to the power delivery profile of the first load to the first load;
• allocating the first amount of power to the second load;
• and
• delivering the second amount of power to the first load and the first amount of power to the second load.

A system comprising:

• a renewable energy source (RES);
• an energy storage system (ESS);
• and
• a controller coupled to the RES and ESS configured to:
• receive a power delivery profile for each of a first load and a second load;
• determine a first power output capability of a first power plant and a second power capability for a second power plant;
• determine a first amount of a combined power output capability of the first and second power plants in excess of the power delivery profile of the first load;
• allocate a second amount of the combined power output capability equal to the power delivery profile of the first load to the first load;
• allocate the first amount of power to the second load;
• and
• deliver the second amount of power to the first load and the first amount of power to the second load.
